Zelda Triforce & Heart Container Nails

Confession time: I've been hoarding these nails in my archives since last August. I don't know what I was waiting for. Time to post these already! I've had a longstanding love affair with Link so sooner or later these nails were going to happen. I played A Link to the Past many years ago on Super Nintendo and though I haven't gotten to everything in the series yet, I love everything I've played so far. I have such good memories of The Wind Waker. It had so many lovable characters (Makar and Tingle!), fun gameplay and it really took me back to simpler times. In honor of Link and Zelda here are my Triforce and Heart Container nails.

I started with two coats of Revlon, Rain Forest. The dark shimmery green just feels like the perfect color to represent the dark forests and epic adventures that Link experiences in his travels. I hand painted all the details with a tiny paint brush. The Triforce is done with Maybelline Color Show in Bold Gold. I painted the 8 bit outlines of the heart containers with black acrylic paint and the colored in the centers with red and white acrylic paint. I left the last one only half filled since there's always more adventuring to do in Hyrule.
